After suffering an injury on set, stuntman Colt (Ryan Gosling) returns to work to find the star of the movie has gone missing, and while trying to find him, ends up being involved in a sinister plot. I saw the trailer for this film a while ago and thought it looked interesting and fun. And after hearing many positive reviews, I was really excited to see it!
